Baltimore's first Startup Weekend is happening Fri, Apr 15 – Sun, Apr 17th, and we wanted to get the word out to all the Baltimore PHP folks! As a developer, you can use "helloworld" for a 20% off discount code.
If you're not familiar, the concept of Startup Weekend is to build a business in a weekend. 100+ designers, developers, business and marketing people are going to meet on Friday and break into teams of 5 – 10 to see if they can build a product by Sunday. (We have over 80 attendees registered so far with 2 weeks to go). We provide them space, food, and coaches to help them along the way. On Sunday night, the teams will present what they've worked on (hopefully a launched website / product) to a large audience at the UMD BioPark and a panel of 6 – 10 distinguished judges. The top 3 teams will take home prizes and cash from our pool, expected to be around $10,000.
